Yamaha YZ250FX and WR250F 2015 all "new"

i think there might be a YZ 250 FX in my future!

Me too like in 5years when i can afford a second hand one.

not me im going 7 years then lookin for a YZ300E

I'm thinking in maybe two months, I think the YZ 250 FX would be a great race bike. Here in the Victorian Offroad Championships there's a mix of 3 hour cross country races and sprint races, we also have some Enduro X and an Extreme Enduro. I think the YZ 250 FX would be the perfect bike for all of the different types of racing we have here.

I agree, my attention is getting drawn to these bikes!

I wish I could get away without rego, the fx would be perfect. It'll have to be a WR for me in Qld though

At least here in the States they're offering an up-grade kit to the wr that includes a new ecu and it's supposed to be pretty cheap. Something like that sounds great -to have the ability to go between street/emissiona legal and race mode.

I don't think these's any legal versions coming from Yamaha, at least on the models being discussed here.

here is a good viddy of the new yz250fx it was the second race on this bike.I rode the am race and this is pm race lots of sun glare in the pm,two bad get offs for him and bike ! The bike seems tuff,the first crash is bad but the second one is a must see ! The vid quality gets better as time goes on enjoy..

hello ,bulletproof i didn't see much {spud cut} in that one he still has both sleeves if you finnish a HBGP with your jersey still on u you did good i think spud likes nekid people

I have been thinking about a 250 FX all day today, I couldn't get it out of my mind! I'm getting one! Only problem I have is, I don't know how I'm going to pay for it.

Buddy of mine just spoke with the owner of NCY here in SoCal. He's an accomplished off-road rider himself. Said the the WR, even with the different ecu and uncorked, was not as good as the FX for performance. Also said the WR was quite a bit heavier.......

Thats not a tough bike if on first glance on a tree it rips off the side of radiator. Lucky the core wasnt damaged! The blokes quick gotta give him that an i like the rad shrouds curling back in... As for mud when its new use gorilla tape on joints between plastics n subframe then silicone sprey the daylight out of everything, usually its a hose down job no jet washer then a hot soapy bucket sponge n brush to get niggly bits.

thats pretty much how i always wash any of mine. takes longer than pressure washer but i feel its much better for bike

Damn, so jealous.

I wish we could ride without registration in the bush like you guys. If I get one of these beasts, it'll have to be the WR with all the extras.... sad now.

I found this review pretty interesting http://dirtbikemagazine.com/home-features/yamaha-wr250f-yz250fx-review

Particularly if you scroll down to the WR Hop Up update.

I like fact wr's have softer suspension with the black fx box mod sounds like a very capable platform.
Seriously tempted to squirrel monies away for the yamaha fx-mass
